It's an interesting idea, but not particularly musical. I've given quite a bit of thought to the subject of algorithmic music creation & enhancement, and I have a few ideas if you fancy batting some about.
I am interested to hear your ideas. I made this project in a very short time long ago already and I have also developed new idea since then. Happy to exchange.
In the western world, the most common musical scale uses 7 tones (the white keys of the keyboard) and 5 semitones (the black keys), i.e. a total of 12 notes.
However the decimal system (= base 10) we commonly use to represent numbers only uses 10 digits.
To match the two and make transcription easy, we chose to transpose Pi into its 12 digits notation (base 12). The digits of this notation are written 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b = 12 digits. This is why a and b appear.
The first four measures could have been baroque.

The first and the second measures sound a little bit as a Bach's Fuge, thats interesting..

What if you used a lower base system (7 for maj/min, for example) and tried using a scale of a particular key?

Wow! 1:04 to 1:10 sounds like J. S. Bach! :O
AWESOME!!

beyond that, if i had to listen to this for more than a minute it would drive me fucking demented, so dont do it for 11,000 years please.

Brian eno tried a similar thing about 11 years ago. Unfortunately i cant remember the name of it but im sure youll find it. Its software.

Hi,
Sorry for late answer.

what program did you use to write the notes and play them at around :50 sec

you're most likely to find that music with symmentric and repeating patterns will sound better.
i reckon of these people might be able to discover nicer sounding tunes using symmetrical functions.

what the hell is a and b when the numbers represent notes?

who would wanna make music outta pi? this is dumb and the music sounded dumber.

It did sound pretty lame.
But it's an interesting concept.
